But like I said earlier, the supercharger may decrease how fast it spins if it's only trying to spin at a certain speed. I personally would like to include a tune, but I also don't see the need to do a tune if you're just installing an intake. I'd prefer to do a tune after throwing on more than a few bolt-ons. Intake, IMO is a good "gateway drug" for the drug of modding.
I believe its closing the blade in the throttle body which would decrease airflow, the supercharger should be spinning at a fixed rate based on the pulleys I thought but I guess it has a bypass valve? I'm not sure.

I do agree, just an intake isn't worth tuning, like you said wait until you do a bunch of mods and get the most out of it. Also Not saying their won't be gains with a stock tune and intake, just the engine might dial it back and you don't get the most out of it.
Looks like a nice piece espexially for the stock size or maybe even 95mm throttle bodies
